Sengoku Jidai combined thread

^ Well look at you, all grown up!  Our very own Jomni the game developer!   O0

Well just to be clear, I am not alone.  Richard of Byzantine helped in coding the challenging stuff. We deliberated on rules changes and what are to be implemented. We had another artist to help with artwork (3D and UI). I did the game design, putting the bits and pieces together.  I got all the support to realise my vision.

It will still be branded as a Byzantine game since the code and base game is theirs.

Someone mentioned in the P&S thread that Slitherine will notice my mod and turn it into an expansion (or full game).  So he's right after all.

As for the state of the game during beta, it is pretty much playable. I am just left with doing a few more stand-alone historical scenarios. There's already a lot of gaming to be had in the campaigns and skirmish.

Seriously, though, that's extremely cool to see your mod get such acknowledgement.  It must be very gratifying.

Yes it is. And they don't have a lot of Asian themed games save for some WW2 PTO.

^Was it your idea to include Korea and China in the same game? Because that is an epic idea.

Hi guys.  Guess who's part of the development team?

It's my Pike and Shot mod on steroids. It's a stand alone release as there are changes to the code and reworked UI, 3D assets, etc. not compatible with original P&S.

One thing that we introduced here which is not in P&S are generals in the battlefield.  A lot of people have been asking for this and it is quite relevant in Asian warfare.

I suspected you were up to something after going silent on the mod.  I think others here did too.

Looking forward to checking it out.  And congrats on the biz!   O0

congrats, first thing i thought of when i saw the announcement was either Jomni is involved or someone ripped him off. Good luck with the release.

One immediate question... and the fact you have them in the game is awesome...what effects do the leaders have?
